Exercise 13

Equilibrium on a potential energy curve

Theory used: Equilibrium positionStability criterion for equilibriumReading a potential energy curveForce as the derivative of potential energy

A particle moves along the -axis subject only to a conservative force with potential energy , where is in meters and in joules. Determine the equilibrium positions and their stability, and determine for which values of the mechanical energy a particle located near stays confined to a bounded interval.
